A taxonomic classification of ganoid fish, sometimes used as a plural Latin term for the ganoid group.
From ganoid plus -ei (Latin plural marker used in some scientific nomenclature). Represents an older taxonomic naming convention.
Scientific naming with Latin plurals like 'ganoidei' might sound overly fancy, but it actually served a purpose—it let scientists from different countries with different languages all talk about the same fish without confusion.
